Whove Sweet whove is what bwings us togather today

About Me

I genuinely like being around other people, especially my wonderful wife. I like to cook and love to eat--a dangerous combination. We like to go out to the theatre (GO SEU!) and I really dig festivals like Eeyore's (look for me working as a volunteer there), Pecan Street and I really love the ACL music Festival--which totally rocked. I've lived in Austin for like 9 years now, and and really just love it here. I like to get outside--walking in the park, riding my bike at Town Lake--there's just something really great about feeling grass under your bare feet. I'm the type of guy who is always open to trying something at least once, or maybe twice, and I'm definitely the MrFixit.

My Interests

Cycling, Dancing, Running, Walking / Hiking, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Book club/Discussion, Camping, Coffee and conversation, Cooking, Dining out, Hobbies and crafts, Movies/Videos, Museums and art, Music and concerts, Performing arts, Playing cards, Religion/Spiritual, Shopping/Antiques, Travel/Sightseeing, Volunteering, Wine tasting

I'd like to meet:

I would expect that the peoples I would like meet would be sort of like who I am--smart, but not too smart, fun, a little goofy, good natured and open. One caveat--Peoples who feel the need to have pictures that expose places our parents told us not to need not apply. So keep your nibbly bits to yourselfs. On the other hand, if you have a good sense of humor and goofiness, if you think we'd be friends in real life, feel free to shoot me an invite--I'm game most of the time to meeting new folks. I'd like to expand my circle of friends and pals to have companions in making mayhem. So old friends, new friends, come on down---Love to see ya!
